10: Epic Hero "Ghost Eye Scorpion"

For the vast majority of Lords, the first day of the assessment had just begun.

But for Li Feng, today was already over.

The mist gradually dissipated, and all the Goblin corpses vanished with it.

These were all assessment monsters, not real entities, so they naturally left no bodies behind.

Li Feng didn't care; he started to tally his gains.

First, of course, were the most important assessment points, which determined whether he could get the Mythical-grade architectural blueprint a month later.

Killing Goblins earned 50 points, and being the first to kill all assessment monsters granted an additional 100 points.

Li Feng now had a total of 150 points, placing him first on the leaderboard.

Ranked second was a Lord named Fang Song, with a total of 140 points.

Based on the territory name, Li Feng guessed that the initial Troops Fang Song awakened were most likely the Tier 6 Troops, Earth Tyrant Bear.

There were many bear-type Troops, but the only one associated with 'earth' was the Earth Tyrant Bear.

The third place had 130 points.

The fourth place had 120 points.

The fifth place had 110 points... The gap didn't seem large, and Li Feng's first place could be taken over at any time in the future.

Almost all Lords thought this way.

But only Li Feng knew how terrifying his talent was.

The first day was the slowest day for his development speed.

If these Lords couldn't even surpass his first day, they shouldn't expect to ever surpass him.

His first place was as solid as a mountain!

Then there were the first-place rewards.

The gold alone amounted to ten thousand coins.

For other players, even with so much gold, they wouldn't be able to spend it in the short term and would have to trade with other Lords for other resources.

But for Li Feng, he could use this gold to mass-produce Troops in minutes.

He also took out a Tier 4 Troops blueprint, which was also a first-place reward.

This was the Cursed Demon of the Demon Race.

Upon its death, it would inflict a damage-reflecting curse on its killer, dealing true damage equal to its maximum health.

It had to be said, this was a very tempting Troop, so much so that even Li Feng was a little reluctant to convert it into Zerg Troops.

"Forget it, without the talent's boost, a Tier 4 Troop can only summon 4 per day, which is too few."

Shaking his head, Li Feng ultimately activated Zerg Scourge and converted the Cursed Demon into Zerg Troops.

[You have obtained Self-Detonating Firefly Troops Blueprint * 1!]

Self-Detonating Firefly!

Li Feng was stunned, then pleasantly surprised.

When discussing the strongest Tier 4 Troops, a hundred people would have at least a dozen different opinions.

But when it came to the Tier 4 Troops with the highest single-attack damage.

Then the Self-Detonating Firefly was undoubtedly number one!

Li Feng waved his hand, consuming a large amount of resources to create the Self-Detonating Firefly Altar.

[Self-Detonating Firefly Altar]

Tier: Tier 4

Level: 1/10

Production Cooldown: None

Production Cost: 50 Gold Coins/unit

Upgrade Requirements: wood * 2000, Stone * 2000, Iron Block * 2000, Tier 4 Gem * 1

This was a cluster of grass as tall as a person, emitting faint firefly glows.

After a brief thought, Li Feng waved his hand and spent 5000 gold coins to summon 100 Self-Destructing Fireflies.

The next moment, a large number of green-glowing Self-Destructing Fireflies flew out from the Troops Altar.

Li Feng extended five fingers, and 5 Self-Destructing Fireflies flapped their wings and landed on his fingernails.

At this moment, he seemed to have given himself a fluorescent manicure.

He then checked the information of the Self-Destructing Fireflies.

[Self-Detonating Firefly]

Race: Zerg

Tier: Tier 4 Troops

Health: 400

Attack: 400

Defense: 0

Skill: Self-Destruct: The Self-Detonating Firefly releases its hidden ability, initiating a terrifying self-detonation that deals massive damage to the target and significantly reduces its defense for a short period.

The attributes of the Self-Detonating Firefly were very strange; its health was only equivalent to a Tier 3 Troop, and its defense was 0.

But its attack power was comparable to a Tier 5 Troop.

An authoritative institution had obtained data through a large number of experiments.

The Self-Detonating Firefly's self-detonation could deal 5-10 times its own attack damage to the target.

As for the defense reduction, it reached an astonishing 90%!

Of course, this was only limited to Troops below Tier 6.

For Troops above Tier 6, the defense reduction was negligible.

Even with just the weakest 5 times damage, it far exceeded the damage of a Tier 6 Troop.

If it could reach 10 times damage, it could even be comparable to the regular damage of a Tier 7 Troop.

It should be noted that the Self-Detonating Firefly was only a Tier 4 Troop!

Of course, high damage came at the cost of life.

A Self-Detonating Firefly had only one brilliant opportunity in its insect life.

[You have successfully built the Self-Detonating Firefly Altar, consuming a total of wood * 2000, Stone * 2000, Iron Block * 2000, Tier 4 Gem * 1]

Li Feng jumped directly off the swing chair and established the Self-Detonating Firefly Altar.

Ironclad Ant were, after all, only Tier 3 Troops, and their attacks did not have a penetrating effect.

When encountering high-tier monsters, especially those with very high defense, they would be very passive.

Although relying on sheer numbers could slowly wear down the opponent's defense and then kill them.

But this would undoubtedly lead to a large number of Ironclad Ant dying in vain.

However, with the Self-Destructing Fireflies, Li Feng would no longer fear high-tier monsters.

When encountering a high-tier monster, he would directly let the Self-Destructing Fireflies put on a fireworks show for it, blowing it to smithereens.

"You will be my trump cards from now on."

Li Feng smiled slightly and withdrew his hand.

The remaining 5050 gold coins; the extra 50 were dropped by killing Goblins.

Of these, 5000 gold coins summoned 500 Ironclad Ant, and 50 gold coins summoned 50 Beedrill.

For him, Beedrill indeed no longer had much combat power.

But as cheap flying Troops, they could serve as excellent scouts.

And their small size allowed them to scout various environments, making them ideal reconnaissance Troops.

At this point, his gold coins were all spent, and he became a pauper again.

The last first-place reward, and also the most precious, was the Hero Recruitment Order!

Regardless of quality, all Troops lacked intelligence; at most, high-tier Troops possessed a bit of combat awareness.

In the beginning, Lords didn't have many Troops, and they could manage them in an orderly fashion by themselves.

But the further they went, the more Troops they had.

When the number exceeded ten thousand, or even more.

A single Lord couldn't control them all.

At this time, it was when heroes came into play.

The quality of heroes, from low to high, was: Normal-grade, Elite-grade, Legendary-grade, Epic-grade, and Mythical-grade.

Heroes of any quality possessed intelligence and could command Troops.

Li Feng took out the Hero Recruitment Order and used it.

The next moment, a panel appeared before his eyes.

"You have used a Hero Recruitment Order and can summon a hero of any race. Please choose the race you wish to summon: Human Race, Beast Race, Orc Race, Goblin Race, Zerg Race, Undead Race, Dragonkin Race, Elf Race..."

Li Feng didn't even think and directly chose the Zerg Race.

Although heroes could command Troops of any race, if they were of the same race, the hero could enhance the Troops' strength.

Since Li Feng's Troops were all Zerg, he naturally chose a Zerg hero.

A summoning circle appeared on the open ground in front of him, and a silver pillar of light shot into the sky.

As the light dissipated, a massive figure was revealed.

It was a purple Scorpion the size of a car.

Normal Scorpions had four pairs of eyes.

But this particular Scorpion only had one pair of eyes on its front sides, dark purple in color.

If one stared for too long, they would feel a dizzying sensation.
